practicing for their second debate. >> round two, president obama and mitt romney face off in their second debate tuesday, a town hall, moderated by cnn's candy crowley which says the format presents unique challenges for the candidates. >> they've got to connect with not only the people who are watching the television, but the people on the stage with them, some 80 or so undecided voters as chosen by gallup. they have to keep those folks in mind, it's a much more intimate debate with voters. >> one bad debate is losing a battle. two bad debates could very well northeastern he loses the war. >> i think you're going to see a very different president obama this time around. he's got to be seen as being aggressive, but he can't be seen as being overly aggressive. >> romney has enjoyed a post debate bounce in national polls and a boost of confidence on the campaign trail. >> there's more energy and passion, people are getting behind this campaign. >> at a town hall without a podium and with audience interaction, the candidates style and body language with take on added weight. at the fi

we know that governor romney has said in the third debate that u.s. is on track to follow greece, that america is the next greece. is this just really hot rhetoric or is it likely? >> it was a wonderful little sound bite, wasn't it? if obama gets elected, u.s. is the next greece. it's just hyperbole the differences between the u.s. and greece are so enormous that it doesn't really bear really fair comparison. not only because the u.s. has got the dollar, which is the world's largest reserve currency and largest market and growing at 2% and employment at 7.8%. all these issues. what the governor is talking about, of course, is debt and deficits. and the very high level of u.s. debt, which at some point is going to have to be addressed. whoever gets elected to the white house, whichever party takes the house and the senate, they are going to have to deal with the debt crisis. >> now, also got a chance to ask richard about his stateside train trip through the u.s. talked to voters from chicago through iowa and utah and california. >> this was brilliant.

>> my advice is to mitt romney. be the debater, not the moderator. i think he went back to doing what he did during the republican primary which was try to enforce the rules. it came across awkward then, it came across as awkward last night. the second thing he tried to do was become the questioner. he a lot of times went back and asked president obama the questions directly. i thought that was such a mistake. it gave president obama a chance to answer. it gave him a second shot at the apple on many of the questions. it put the ball back in his court and ate it up some of mitt romney's time. >> good advice. van jones. >> sorry, go for it, van. >> good advice for him on monday. for me, my advice is to president obama which is simply have numbers along with your proposals. just said you have a six-point plan. >> you said it, not me, van. >> just say over and over again, what's amazing is romney has this five-point plan that everybody knocks. everybody look at and say this plan is literally two minus two equals four, it doesn't add up, but everybody kno

i've sat through debates with mitt romney and debates with president obama, then candidate obama. both of these guys are articulate. they have experience, they know how to debate. they've had good debates. they've had some that are less good. but i think both of them are going to do well. >> l.z, we're going to throw two to you right now. first let me ask you, does mitt romney have to avoid missteps. peggy noonan has said this is sort after a hinge, it's a turning point that has the potential to alter the dynamic of the election. do you see the debate as that crucial, the first one? >> absolutely. i think the first one is the only one that really matters. if mitt romney can't hit president obama in the first, who wants to hear what he says in the second and third? i want to make sure we're clear on one things. these haven't been gaffs by mitt romney. this is not the first time he's talking about not necessarily caring. he flat out said he wasn't very concerned about the slr poor. this isn't like a misstep. this is a consistent one. it's up to the voters to say whether or not they
